Cute Tunes
Kirby and the Forgotten Land was already on Nintendo Music, but this week it was updated with 91 tracks, bringing the total for the game to 114 — that's four and a half hours of music. This still doesn't include any music from the Star-Crossed World DLC which came out yesterday, so expect an additional extension to the track list in the future.
Kirby rides again
The Kirby Air Riders Direct yesterday revealed a lot of information on the upcoming puffball racer. We also got our first listen to it's soundtrack, including the main theme song "Starlit Journey."
A treaure trove of tunes
Captain Toad journeys onto the Nintendo Music app with the soundtrack of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for Wii U (and 3DS, and Nintendo Switch). The OST has 58 tracks and 2 playlists to enjoy. The full track list is below.
Music spanning 20 years
Have you been daydreaming about flying airplanes and parachuting? Then listening to some tunes from Pilotwings can help turn those dreams into... well, more-immersive dreams. Luckily, Nintendo has added the entire flight sim series to their music app: Pilotwings (SNES), Pilotwings 64 (Nintendo 64) and Pilotwings Resort (3DS).
Composer: You!
Coinciding with its release on the SNES - Nintendo Classics app for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Mario Paint comes to the Nintendo Music app with 19 tracks, including one of the earliest known versions of "Totaka's Song". The soundtrack has a runtime of 28 minutes.
A bundle of retro goodies
After a long stretch of slowly adding one game at a time, Nintendo has brought 20 NES/Famicom games to their music streaming app, all at once! These include the ports of the arcade Donkey Kong series, sports titles, some originally Japan-only games, and more. A few even have extended playlists. That's over 222 songs, though many are short jingles.
Welcome to Mario Kart!
While Switch 2 early adopters are racing around in Mario Kart World, why not enjoy this throwback with the Mario Kart 64 soundtrack on the Nintendo Music app"? You get a whole hour of music across 32 tracks (but only one playlist: the Extended-Playback Collection).
Catching Rays and Tunes
Nintendo is bringing the heat with a new curated playlist of summertime tunes in the Nintendo Music app. The "Summer" playlist is comprised of 52 tracks from many different games and lasts 2 hours and 18 minutes. It also has a neat feature where the track order changes every day to keep it fresh.
Turn up the 3D and volume sliders
A new Zelda soundtrack has been added to the Nintendo Music app: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D! The 3DS remake joins the Nintendo 64 version and brings with it 1 hour and 14 minutes of music across 51 tracks and 5 playlists.
Bah! Bah!
The latest game to hit the Nintendo Music app is New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, with 2 hours and 7 minutes of music across 90 tracks. The soundtrack is listed under both the Wii U and Nintendo Switch versions as New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, respectively, but the Wii U title is just a shortcut to the *Deluxe* edition, sharing the same tracks and playlists.
